To get a toolbox up an inclined slope, a student installs a pulley system as in the picture shown. The student uses their body weight to apply a force. The student weighs 81.9kg, and the toolbox weighs 16.3kg. The angle of the slope is 31.2° above the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and the slope is 0.227. Once the student gets the box moving, what will its acceleration be?

A 1500-N crate is to be held in place on a ramp that rises at 30.0° above the horizontal (see figure). The massless rope attached to the crate makes a 22.0° angle above the surface of the ramp. The coefficients of friction between the crate and the surface of the ramp are uk = 0.450 and us = 0.650. The pulley has no appreciable mass or friction. What is the MAXIMUM weight w that can be used to hold this crate stationary on the ramp? %3D W= ? Crate 22.0° Ramp 30.00
You are a bully. You pin a 48 kg dweeb to a wall so that his feet aren't touching the ground. Your arm is extended so that it makes an angle 28 degrees with the horizontal. The dweeb's back is so sweaty with fear that there is no friction between his back and the wall. What is the magnitude of the force , in N, you must apply to keep the dweeb in equilibrium? (Use g = 10 m/s2) This scenario is represented schematically below. Unfortunately for you, years later the dweeb is your boss and he makes your life miserable. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 12.3445)

A stone has a mass of 8.79 g and is wedged into the tread of an automobile tire, as the drawing shows. The coefficient of static friction between the stone and each side of the tread channel is 0.818. When the tire surface is rotating at 10.9m/s, the stone flies out the tread. The magnitude FN of the normal force that each side of the tread channel exerts on the stone is 2.46 N. Assume that only static friction supplies the centripetal force, and determines the radius r of the tire (in terms of m)

A 52.5-kg sled is pulled across a horizontal icy surface as in the figure. The horizontal pulling force of magnitude P is directed opposite to a constant 35.0-N kinetic friction force. Starting from rest, the sled acquires a final speed of 2.25 m/s after being pulled a distance of 20.0 m. Two forces act on a sled that is on a horizontal surface. An arrow labeled vector fk extends from the left side of the sled and points left. An arrow labeled vector P extends from the right side of the sled and points right. The lengths of the arrows are approximately equal to each other. What is the magnitude P of the pulling force? N?

An accident victim with a broken leg is being placed in traction. The patient wears a special boot with a pulley attached to the sole. The foot and boot together have a mass of 4.0 kgkg, and the doctor has decided to hang a m� = 6.6 kgkg mass from the rope. The boot is held suspended by the ropes and does not touch the bed. (Figure 1) Determine the amount of tension in the rope by using Newton’s laws to analyze the hanging mass. Assume that ϕ� = 11 ∘∘ .Hint: If the pulleys are frictionless, which we will assume, the tension in the rope is constant from one end to the other. The net traction force needs to pull straight out on the leg. What is the proper angle θ� for the upper rope? What is the net traction force pulling on the leg?
